Where Do I Put My Adguards Address On My Asus Router? (alien.top)

Hello, I just completed my Adguard setup on my Raspberry Pi! Only problem is I have no clue where to put the address on my router. I see DNS and WINS Server Settings and there's DNS Server 1 and DNS Server 2. Is this where I put my IP from Adguard? I would also like it so if my Raspberry Pi is ever down it would just pick up a like normal just obviously with ads.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me here!

You need to find DHCP options under your LAN settings

DHCP is the service that provides information like the IP address, gateway, dns, and subnet to each of the clients in your network

In this case you want the DHCP server on your router to hand out your Adguard IP address as the DNS

I would also like it so if my Raspberry Pi is ever down it would just pick up a like normal just obviously with ads.

This is why it has fields for DNS 1 and 2. DNS 1 will be the primary, but if it's not working, devices will fallback to using DNS 2.

If you want to be sure devices will continue to work fine even if your pi is down, put your adguard IP in DNS 1 and then a normal DNS server such as 1.1.1.1 in DNS 2

After you change those settings, open a terminal on your PC and run

ipconfig /release &amp;&amp; ipconfig /renew &amp;&amp; ipconfig /all

scroll up to find your Ethernet adapter and see if the correct DNS server(s) are listed
